Continuing with our Battle of the Bands lineup, we introduce Hamiliton Outlaw!
Hamilton Outlaw is a band of blue-collar city boys playing some dirty rock/blues with a punk edge. The members all come from punk/ska and metal backgrounds. How it started: Mike Dee, singer for grind-n-roll band Monger, and singer/guitarist for punk rock band Head of Power decided he needed an outlet for some bluesy/rock stuff he had been writing. He banded together Sam Shapiro and Mike Clark (both in Head of Power) and Matt Hoey (Monger) to form Hamilton Outlaw.
How it’s going: What started as bluesy/rock has evolved and expanded, with a strong foundation in punk / rock / metal with some occasional reggae, ska and indie-rock blended in. Hamilton Outlaw’s current line-up is Mike Dee – vocals, guitar / Matt Hoey – drums / Mike Clark – guitar / Tom Wingate – bass / Tom Nowakowski- guitar.
